UVB

UVB stands for Ultraviolet B, which is a type of ultraviolet radiation from the sun. It has a shorter wavelength than UVA rays and is primarily responsible for causing sunburns and contributing to skin cancer. UVB rays are most intense between 10 AM and 4 PM and can also affect your skin even on cloudy days. Sunscreens are designed to block or absorb UVB rays to help protect your skin from damage. It's important to consider UVB exposure when spending time outdoors to minimize potential health risks.
